No, I don’t remember exactly where on LW I saw it—just wanted to aknowledge that I was amplifying so.eone else’s thoughts.
My college writing instructor was taken aback when I asked her how to cite something I could quote, but didn’t recall from where, but her answer was “then you can’t use it” which seemed harsh. There should be a way to aknowledge plagiarism without knowing or stating who is being plagiarized—and if the original author shown up, you’ve basically pre-conceded any question of originality to them.
Can you add a link to the other thread please?

Thx for being clear about it.
